Hundreds of Ennerdale Secondary School pupils stay at home, fearing another Hoërskool Driehoek tragedy

Tragedy struck the high school in Vanderbijlpark when a concrete slab fell on top of 26 pupils, killing four of them and leaving several others injured. She recalled that injured pupils were lying near the pathway, while the bodies of the three deceased were trapped underneath the concrete slab.The concrete slab was above a walkway which linked two buildings at the 45-year-old school.

"Their screams are still lingering in my mind. They cried, pleading for help. Oh! My children were fighting for their lives. There was nothing I could do. But I am glad and appreciate those men who responded quickly and saved the lives of some of the children. I am hurting inside and don't know what to say anymore," she said.
